People that think Hasselbeck is overrated simply haven’t watched his career enough… if he had been in a bigger market than Seattle and won 6 division titles, 3 Pro Bowls, etc, he’d get a lot more love (like McNabb used to…. has anyone ever asked the question why Hasselbeck is commanding respect from NFL minds and McNabb is on the street?)

I thought Locker played well when he was in last year, and probably should get the job by the end of the season. Having said that, he might be better served by letting Hasselbeck take the first few weeks and ease into the starting job.

Hass has always been one of my favorite NFL guys and I like Locker as well, so I hope this gets handled right. I feel for Munchak if he has to deal with an owner who would interfere in a playtime situation like that.

Hass deserves a free pass after his handling of bud’s peyton crush..

Don’t forget, he came in and had the 3rd best year of his career with no off season and a 1st year hc/oc with no star WR and a lost star RB.

Let #8 at least start the season and see how he can do against playoff competition with a full year, off season workouts, and a rehabbed/revamped/reloaded offense.

If it doesn’t work out, give Locker the ball for the last half of the season and watch the future unfold.

The Titans can make the AFC South interesting.

Jake Locker will never be an NFL starter.

When to start a QB is always a tough question. Let’s hope they answer it correctly. I’d like to see Locker have a good career.

Climer is obviously not seeing what I’m seeing!!!!

Matt Hasselbeck had a good overall season in Tennessee last year, but in four different games Locker was put in after he struggled.

Plus, he tailed off at the end of the season and was potentially going to be replaced by Peyton Manning.

Why is Hasselbeck getting a free pass by people in the media?

Locker was the 8th pick in the draft and is in his second year. The only reason Hasselbeck should start over him is if they think his experience will make the difference in a Super Bowl season. Are the Titans going to the Super Bowl this year? Get Locker experience now and maybe you can get to the Super Bowl in a few years.
